Wilmington: What do Senator Thom Goolsby and Speaker Thom Tillis have in common?
Speaker Tillis was recently criticized within his own caucus for killing legislation that might harm his campaign for the U.S. Senate. His accuser, Rep. Larry Pittman, said he has turned the lower House into an arm of his campaign while ignoring the needs of the people of North Carolina.
A current TV ad by Goolsby seeks to assure listeners that although he’s in Raleigh two days a week, he’s available three days a week to handle their legal issues. By pairing his two vocations in one ad, Goolsby is using his House seat to shill his business as a lawyer.
